I doubt anything I can say about the series and this book in particular will make you read it or any of the others. I think there are those who refuse to pick up this just because of some preconceived notion they have. And then there are your die-hard fans. Those who love anything Diana Gabaldon writes. I'm some were in the middle. I haven't loved all the books, but am amazed at the talent portrayed in them. I was worried were the story was going after the last two novels. I knew we had to hit a point were the action would pick up again, but I didn't know if it would be enough to compel me forward. The first 500 pages are much like the previous two books. It's all about the details. But, I could tell the tension was building. The date on the newspaper was approaching as was the pending war with England. And then the last 500 pages just exploded. There's murder, theft, kidnapping, and many other things. It reminded me of the adventures in the first three books. I was anxious to see how all the pieces fit together. I was also happy to see some things settled the way the should be. So for those who have felt the series has faltered a little and haven't read this one yet, I would recommend it. I would say it's my 3rd favorite of the series (I know right it the middle, but it's hard to beat Outlander and Voyager). And, if you haven't even started this series yet, I urge you to give it a try!

this book was awesome. it contains a lot of cool themes: madness, evil, dysfunctional families! best...bronte...ever.
